Isn’t that a vinyl wrap on 1463?

To me the only acceptable mods are JCW stuff.

To each his own. With only 415 in the US, I say drive the piss out of them and Mod them all the way.

For those that resisted the temptation, the rewards will come in 10 or 15 years when you have one of the few that are truely non-modified.

I put the GP into the same category as the BMW 95 M3 LTW and the 93/94 Porsche RSA. The bone stock ones always fetch more money.

If your intentions are to mod the crap out of it, save some coin on the front end and buy a stock Cooper S and go crazy.

GPMINI.net is not a highly visited site … GBMINI visits are about 200/day, while GPMINI is more like 50/day

Odd, I really thought this topic would generate much more interest. But then I think all of my topics will and most don’t.

I visit your “websites” daily, even while on vacation, Can you say the same to me? ;-]

But yes I do remember the 2000 limit, now.

Robert …
You need to read more of my website where it says only 2000 of these special edition MINIs were sold, with 415 coming to USA

I remember there was something (MF?) about plans to build a second batch of GPs – but it was apparently nonsense!

The only GP is one of the 2000 sold.
What then the owwer does with the GP doesn’t matter.
A MINI isn’t a GP, but a GP is a MINI.

I simply love GP’s and also support anything people want to do with theirs. Think there isn’t anything wrong with modifying a car, heck its a Mini which comes from decades of modifications. I still presume strictly speaking as a collector car an original untouched example will be worth more than a highly modified car generally (but not always).

Nice build pbraun
